Frank McCourt, who can’t stop trying to leave his skid marks all over the ethos of Los Angeles, sold the city this week on the idea that he can string together a gondola between Union Station into Dodger Stadium, able to carry thousands of trolley-dodging customers in a progressive single round-trip bound.

This $125 million project, all promised to be third-party privately funded, will be finished by 2022.

L.A. mayor Eric Garcetti, who has championed an idea to build a monorail over the 405 to tame traffic gridlock, seems to be over-the-Wally-Moon about this Aerial Rapid Transit proposal.

To be frank, how many ways can a couple of simple paragraphs come off as so Angels Flight-funicular flawed?

After assessing the company’s list of FAQ, may we ask some follow-ups?

= Did we mention “Ballpark Frank” McCourt is the point person here, right? Or, at least his son, Drew, is characterized as the idea man.

Divorcing yourself from anything remotely positive he and his former spouse (now the U.S. ambassador to France, for real) accomplished during their ATM reign of terror, have you already forgotten one of the analogies he used six years ago before leaving his position as the Dodgers’ caretaker – and almost their undertaker?

So this ski lift gizmo is going to be the snow job that whites out all memory of a city-wide concussion we all suffered?

= If McCourt is still able to cash in on the stadium parking lot fees as part of his severance package, wouldn’t this in theory divert cars away from filling those spots? Or is the real end game here that he will be able to control every means possible of getting people inside the facility, including buying up land around the soon-to-be-gentrified downtown train depot to charge people parking before they board Con Air McCourt?

= What’s to also prevent him from starting his own Uber company – let’s call it McCart – that could also repurpose those inefficient bus lanes that currently sardine fans onto Sunset Boulevard, and confuse everyone trying to make a right-hand turn up Vin Scully Way before they end up crashing into the lobby of that Super 8 Motel on the corner?

= Can we trust McCourt won’t have one price set for those who board this flying closet, but then impose an inflation-adjusted rate the riders must cough up as they try to disembark or they’ll be sent back?

= How soon before McCourt launches a seat-licensing fee for those who don’t want to stand the entire ride?

= If Pedro Baez uses it, does it guarantee it will take three times longer to reach its doomed destination?

= Should there be TV monitors installed showing the game on SportsNet LA, can passengers buy an unlimited day pass just to see what Joe Davis looks like?

= What’s the likelihood this leads to a monorail built between the pitchers’ mound and each Dodger Stadium bullpen in a way to speed up games?

= Will there be signs posted that prohibit anyone from starting a round of “It’s A Small World” when the thing starts moving over Chinatown and Olvera Street?

= Now that Jim Beam announced it has become “the official bourbon of the Dodgers,” will they have highball stations at each point to give fans more liquid courage to climb aboard and overcome their fear of heights?

= What precautions will be in place that prevent riders from trying to join the “150-Feet-High Club”? Or will the TSA agents spot potential culprits while doing their body-scan searches?

= Let’s say one cart is full of Dodgers’ fans, and the doors won’t close until all spots are filled, and the group inside can’t convince a single Giants fan standing on the platform to just come in and take that last open spot so the thing can get moving? Does that fan ultimately get bullied on the platform for holding things up?

= Once the city tries to dodge this giant mistake that doesn’t get off the ground – take your pick between EPA, geology and historical landmark status restrictions – can the city then call on Elon Musk to tunnel us all out of this problematic heap of orange pylons?
